Kit Harington and Rose Leslie will be married later this month by 'a hooded Benedictine monk in a castle'

They are set to get married later this month, after announcing their engagement in September last year.

And it seems like Kit Harington and Rose Leslie, both 31, will have quite a unique wedding ceremony as they are said to have hired a hooded Benedictine monk to officiate.

Their interesting choice of nuptials will be a nod to how they met on Game Of Thrones, a source told The Sun on Friday: 'They're getting married by a monk in a castle. It doesn't get more Game of Thrones than that.'

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Kit Harington and Rose Leslie for further comment.

Contrary to current reports, during an appearance on the Jonathan Ross Show in October, Kit said that the pair wouldn't have a Game Of Thrones themed wedding, as he said: 'No. There is absolutely no chance of me convincing her of that.'

The couple will wed on June 23 according to a notice which was placed at the Huntly registration office in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, just 15 miles from Rose's family home of Wardhill Castle.

Kit also recently revealed that he and Rose's forthcoming nuptials will land right in the middle of filming for Game Of Thrones' eighth and final season, and has requested production on the show be halted so that his co-stars can all attend the big day.

Speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show, he said: 'I rang [the producer] up and I said, 'I'm getting married and it's your fault actually. I think for the final season he is so stressed that he's reached that peaceful level.

'I was like, 'You need to factor in a 'Game of Thrones' wedding by the way.' They [the cast] have all got to be there so the whole thing has got to shut down.'

In a recent interview with Glamour during her promotional tour for Solo: A Star Wars Story, Kit's co-star Emilia Clarke, 31, discussed his kissing skills in comparison to Alden Ehrenreich, 28, and she said: 'That’s really a tough call!

'It’s like to be a lead male actor these days you have to be excellent in kissing, they’re both very good. Can’t complain babe, can’t complain. It was a good day at the office!'
